Chapter 148: He Was Shocked
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Even if we die, we have to save them. We are soldiers, and the duty of a soldier is to protect!”
The burly man became more and more serious, and there was fear in his heart. However, he had no intention of retreating. Instead, he sped up a lot.
“Yes, we are soldiers, and soldiers are meant to protect their homes!”
The second brother’s eyes were red, and fear appeared in his heart. However, he did not retreat. Even though he knew that he was going to die, he continued to run and follow.
In this kind of emotion, the two brothers continued to run wildly. Suddenly, a siren sounded.
“It is indeed a High-Level Pollution Giant!”
The second brother looked at the scanner on his left wrist. His face was pale. However, looking at his big brother who continued to run in silence, the second brother gritted his teeth and continued to follow.
“Second Brother, I will do my best to delay the Pollution Giant in the battle later. You take the three children and leave,” the burly man suddenly said.
“But Big Brother, the High-Level Pollution Giant is too powerful. You will die,” the second brother hurriedly said.
“It’s okay. Leave everything to me. You only need to take the three children and leave. This is an order. Do you understand?” The muscular man’s voice was cold.
“Yes! Big Brother.”
The second brother’s eyes were red. Tears began to roll in his eyes. Facing the powerful High-Level Pollution Giant, even if they attacked together, there would only be one result, and that was death.
Therefore, the wisest course of action would be to follow his big brother’s plan. One person would fight, and the other would take the child and leave.
However, when he thought that his big brother would be killed by the Pollution Giant, grief and pain surfaced in the second brother’s heart.
“Strange, why isn’t the Pollution Giant roaring anymore? It was so loud before, but it has been a long time since it roared.”
The burly man looked at the scanner on his left wrist and the red dot on it. He understood that the Pollution Giant was still alive, but they could not figure out why the Pollution Giant did not roar.
Normally, when the Pollution Giant was fighting, it liked to roar. Every time, its roar would shake the entire area.
However, it was so quiet. This was not normal.
The two brothers were puzzled. They ran quickly out of the forest and came to the center of the ancient ruins. They looked forward.
In the next second, they were stunned. They looked as if they had been petrified.
The reason why they looked like this was that they saw a five-meter-tall Pollution Giant frozen into an ice sculpture. It was roaring toward the sky and standing still.
This scene scared the two of them so much that they cried out in shock.
“The Pollution Giant was actually frozen. Who is so powerful that it could freeze a High-Level Pollution Giant? This is too powerful!” The second brother was shocked.
“It is indeed amazing. The key point is that the Pollution Giant is still alive, but it has been frozen by the ice. In other words, the giant has been captured alive...”
“Capturing a High-Level Pollution Giant alive is definitely a big deal. It is a big deal in our entire base.”
“One must know that up until now, the entire base has never captured a single High-Level Pollution Giant alive. This time, capturing it alive has broken the base’s record,” The burly man said in a trembling voice.
“Yeah, it’s too strong. Let’s go and see who is so scary that he could freeze a pollution giant,” the second brother said hurriedly.
“Let’s go.”
The two brothers ran forward after saying that. The first thing they saw was the three children. They were relieved to see that they were safe and sound.
“Uncle, it’s you. Why are you here?” Lil Ru raised her hand to greet the two.
“Did... Did you freeze this giant?” The burly man quickly asked.
“No, it’s not us, it’s Mr. Li Xuan.” Lil Ru turned to look at Li Xuan with admiration in her eyes.
“Mr. Li Xuan?”
The two brothers were too anxious to notice Li Xuan. They followed Lil Ru’s gaze and saw Li Xuan floating in the air. The two brothers were shocked.
Li Xuan was so small that he could probably stand on someone else’s palm. Most importantly, it was the first time the two brothers had seen such a small person, so they were shocked.
“What... What is this? Is it a human? Why is it so small?” The second brother could not help but ask.
“This is Mr. Li Xuan, the expert I summoned. He saved us and froze the Pollution Giant in one move. Very impressive,” Xue’er said with a solemn expression on her fair face.
“Summoned an expert? He managed to freeze the Pollution Giant in one move?”
The two brothers asked blankly. Immediately after, their expressions changed drastically as they thought of the legend of summoning.
It was said that in ancient times, there was a family that could summon experts from another world to fight and protect humans.
Later on, as time passed, that family withered and eventually became a legend.
After the apocalypse, people also longed for a super powerhouse to appear to rescue and protect humanity, so the legend of summoning resurfaced.
In the end, the super powerhouse did not appear. People only treated the summoning as a story.
However, the summoning actually worked at this moment, and it immediately stunned the two brothers. In particular, the freezing of the Pollution Giant caused the two brothers’ expressions to change drastically.
Therefore, the two brothers looked at Li Xuan with a serious expression. They were a little hesitant about what to say.
Li Xuan ignored the two brothers. Instead, he stared at Xue’er and said, “Continue. You said that you could sell the captured Pollution Giant for money. Is that true?”
“That’s right. The research institute of the base wants to study the High-Level Pollution Giant. However, the High-Level Pollution Giant is too strong. Even the Black Iron Bank base leader is unable to capture the Pollution Giant alive.”
“This also led to the lack of research materials in the base, which led to a high price being offered.”
“If you can bring the Pollution Giant back to the base, you’ll definitely get a lot of wealth,”Xue’er explained in a clear voice.
“Yeah, this Pollution Giant is indeed worth studying. It has a very tenacious vitality, and hasn’t died yet,” Li Xuan said faintly.
“It’s indeed tenacious. That’s why the superpowered people of the same level can’t defeat the Pollution Giant. Only those of a higher level can defeat it. However, it’s even harder to capture it alive, even if it’s a Black Iron Rank.”
“I’ve heard that the Pollution Giant seems to have special blood in its body, which can quickly heal its injuries. It’s very special,” Xue’er said crisply.
“Yeah. I’ll find an opportunity to study it later. However, this Pollution Giant is too weak, and its research value is too low. I’ll find a powerful research giant later,” Li Xuan said calmly.
“Ah? Too weak? The research value is too low?”
When everyone heard Li Xuan’s words, they all looked at Li Xuan speechlessly.
One had to know that this was a High-Level Pollution Giant. Its strength was very powerful. Even if a Black Iron Rank expert were to move out, they would have to go all out to kill it.
However, Li Xuan actually said that it was too weak. This made everyone speechless.
However, Li Xuan’s words also revealed a piece of information. That was that he was very strong. In his eyes, the High-Level Pollution Giant was just trash.
Everyone was not stupid. Naturally, they thought of this point. Their hearts were also filled with doubt. They secretly wondered how strong Li Xuan was.
“Maybe it’s a Mid-Level Black Iron Rank,” the bespectacled captain whispered.
“It’s possible. A Mid-Level Black Iron Rank is even stronger than the base leader. How could Sister Xue’er summon such a powerful existence? I’m so envious.”
Lil Ru said softly and looked at Xue’er with envious eyes.
Xue’er felt very happy when she was looked at. She felt that she was very lucky to be able to summon such a powerful existence. She could not help but feel closer to Li Xuan.
“Let’s go to your base and see if there are any good materials in your base.” Li Xuan thought of the Transcendent Fruit and wanted to get one.
“Okay, but what about the Pollution Giant? How about we split into two groups. One group will wait here while the other group will go back and inform the base to send a car to pick up the Pollution Giant.”
“But there are only small cars at the base, and the Pollution Giant is too big. We have to prepare a lot of cars. It will probably take two to three days to transport them back,” Xue’er looked at Li Xuan and suggested.
“Two to three days? That’s too long. There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Let’s just leave.” After Li Xuan finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew towards the Pollution Giants.
“Ah? There’s no need to go through so much trouble? Just leave? Don’t you want the giant?” Xue’er said blankly.
